[Vision2020] The Family Tree

The Family Tree
 by Olive Walters

We've got a family album 
Like a family tree 
A thrill to turn the pages 
The pictures we can see 

Starting off with grands and greats 
Then slowly down the line 
Like a book of history 
A journey through the time 

Fashions start to alter 
Mustaches come and go 
Ladies skirts skip up and down 
A proper fashion show 

Top hats change to boaters 
To caps then none at all 
Ladies bonnets disappear 
And so does grannies shawl 

Picture's change to colour 
Black and white has gone 
A different place, a different time 
So much to look upon 

But what is so amazing 
Is the likeness we can see 
Showing up the genes 
Right through our family tree.
